I wonder why instead of the here-discussed 93165694 GM manual transmission fluid, the dealership is selling me one for the automatic transmission, P/N 93165414 that comes up when they enter my 2014 GTC VXR's reg plate into their system. 93165414 has written on the label that it's an ATF, power steering, and hydraulic tipper.
I've doublechecked, they were sure this is now the correct gearbox fluid for my car.

It is red in colour, and the one I drained looked more brownish with a red tint only when looking at the trickle (don't think that one has ever been changed). I haven't started the car yet, being cautious and asking my fellow mechs :)

Hope you could give insights! So far I've read that ATF is put into modern gearboxes, maybe it's Vauxhall's call to resolve clunky gear engages, whining diff on full lock, and all other small niggly noises occasionally popping up while in 3rd or 4th.

Cheers!

Anybody here drive with TC off or esp off , done it a few times , couldn't really notice the difference, apart from being a bit spungy in vxr mode, which is a bonus.

My turbo makes a fluttering noise when I take my foot of the gas at high revs, I have rss induction kit with cone filter, stage 1. Do I need to fit a blow valve ?

I've been looking into to fitting brembos on the rear of the astra J, just to make it more symmetrical (bit of ocd)

Does anyone know anyone who has done this? Who I can ask about fitting etc

Thanks In advance

Now say they will replace the water pump. the car has 23K and is a 2013. I believe the cambelt would need replacing next year, can I just get them to change the water pump or is it best practice to get the cambelt done at the same time.

Something that was due to cost £300 is beginning to spiral!!

Went out to my car yesterday. Started her up and the noise from the steering was terrible. Whining when turning etc.

Quickly jumped out and checked my steering fluid and it's nearly empty. 5 minutes later my dad called me to let me know there was a puddle where my car was parked the night before..

I've got it up on a ramp and it looks like it's a burst pipe somewhere down the line, but i can hardly see anything. The pipe has a cover over it and the fluid is coming out the cover so I have no idea where the burst bit is

I'm putting it into the garage tomorrow. But just wanted to know has anyone ever had a problem like this ? I did top up the fluid to see where the leak was and it did stop the noise for around 5 minutes.. but then came back so some fluid appears to be getting into the system.

Thanks everyone. Realised how much I've wrote.. sorry
